BRACELET.

EIPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 331,033, datedNovember 24, 1885.

Application filed June 26, 1895. Serial No. 169,879.

To all whom it may concern:

Beitknown that I, HORACE E. OHADWIOK, of Providence, in the State ofRhode Island, have made certain new and useful Improvements inBracelets; and I do hereby declare that the following specification,taken in connection with the drawings making a part of the same, is afull, clear, and exact description thereof.

Figure l is a side or edge View of the bracelet closed. Fig. 2 is a Viewof the same open. Fig. 3 is a top view of the open bracelet. Fig. 4 is asection on line 00 m.

The object of my invention is to produce a bracelet which can be easilyand cheaply constructed and at the same time very durable; and itconsists in construction, arrangement, and operation'of the same, ashereinafter described.

In the drawings, A is a narrow fiat spring, nearly circular in form whenat rest, the ends of which overlap a considerable distance. Upon thisspring I place or string a series of circular pieces, B B, resemblingthe top of a metallic button. The pieces B B, I make with out solder, byturning over the edge of the front plate upon the back or inside plate,as shown in Fig. 4. The inside plates. B, are struck up so as to besomewhat concave and leave a space between the two plates when they arefastened together in the manner described. The pieces B B of thebracelet are secured to the spring bv the latter passing throughsuitable slots in the raised sides of the inside plates. The two extremepieces place.

(No model.)

not only soldered to the end of spring-strip A, but receives the otherend of said strip through it, as shown, and serves the double functionof a guide and a stop for said end of part A.

While the bracelet is upon the arm it is kept closed, as shown in Fig.1, by theinward press ure of the spring. \Vhen it is necessary to removethe bracelet from the arm, it is pulled apart, as shown in Figs. 2 and3, by overcoming the resistance of the spring A, the free or clean endof the said spring being allowed to slide freely through the end piece,but is prevented from being entirely withdrawn by its upset end. Theshape of the pieces B B may of course be varied to suit the tastes ofdifferent people.

\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

1. A bracelet formed of the partsB B B and the spring-strip A, the partB being secured to strip A at some distance from one end, and the part Bsecured on the other end of strip A, and having the uncovered end ofstrip A passed through it and provided with an enlargement orstop on itsend, as set forth.

2. A bracelet formed of the spring-strip A, and circular buttons orparts, as described, having the under offset plates, B, provided withopenings, as shown, for the passage of the spring-strip, substantiallyas and for the purpose set forth.
